card without getting a yellow card first!

Listen to Mr. Sherrow the first time every time!

“Game Time” AKA everyone’s favorite part of class Every day you can earn minutes for good behavior or

performance. There are many ways to earn game time:

On Fridays, the class plays a game for the amount of game time! There’s no limit to how much time you can earn!

✭Leftover time from “Question du jour ”/ “Pregunta del día”✭Everyone comes to class on time✭Everyone does homework✭Hurry up bonuses✭Responding to “Donne-moi

Cinq”/ “Dame Cinco” quickly✭Good behavior, especially with a substitute✭Speaking French/Spanish✭No yellow cards received✭Participation in speaking activities

“Game Time” (continued)

Any game time earned can also be lost. Examples of way to lose game time: Not following the rules Talking and being disruptive Talking during ”Éponge” Being too loud during classwork Not responding to “Donne-Moi Cinq” Using extra time for “Question du jour”

Homework

You’ll never have homework.Don’t bother doing homework, it

doesn’t matter anyway.It’s only worth 10% of your grade.You might as well just play video

games instead.

BAZINGA!

Homework I don’t give homework all the time. When I do, it is

because it is purposeful and will help you practice in order to be prepared for class the next day.

You are expected to study vocabulary on any night that you do not have written homework.

NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!

I have informed you thusly.

Honesty Projects and other work for French class are to be

completed by you and only you. Do not use your older sibling as a dictionary for words that you do not know.

Dictionary vs. Translator: You use a dictionary to look up individual words.

Example: wordreference.com You use a translator to look up sentences. Example:

Google Translate

YOU MAY ABSOLUTELY NOT USE AN ONLINE TRANSLATOR. Translated work is considered plagiarized and will receive a score of zero.

You will learn how to use a dictionary in class and may use it as specified.

Absent?Check the folder on the side

blackboard for work that you missed.

Check with a classmate if you don’t understand.

See Monsieur if you have questions or to schedule a missed quiz.
